All other things being equal V12 would be smoother, I think it would
have more torque, and it would last longer.

The reason it would last longer is because it's naturally balanced,
unlike the V6, that's a big reason why straight 6's tend to last so long.

What would be the differences between a 3.0L V-12 and a 3.0L V-6?
Suppose that all else being equal, except the bore/stroke are
proportionately smaller (the V-12 has pistons one half the size of the
pistons of the V-6).

I heard that the V-12 is going to be more smooth.  OTOH, the V-6 would
be more durable for some reason.

Would the V-12 have more torque, efficiency, power, etc.?
